The replica K&N air filter isn't a K&N filter and i assume the oil replicas would be the same. It isn't just near same air flow. The real K&N needs oiling and is washable and has more flow than replicas. There are other fake parts eg Brembo, Delco etc so be sure to compare photos and if possible, packaging. I have binned fakes after swapping out even feeling it worse with a so called new filter.
